The Labour Party

[The perfect fumble]

that's me - top row five seats in lol

Why do you post in here? Seriously.

I've said this before to predictable condemnation, but you need to know stuff to hold an opinion that commands any respect, and you don't know stuff.

Seriously? Educate me then fumble, the floor is yours, how do we overthrow the ruling class?

You let them impoverish enough of the people that the poor become a majority again. That must explain Corbyn's support for Brexit.

Go away mate, seriously.

I have nothing but admiration for a number of likeminded posters in here, who have the tenacity and the patience to engage in mind numbing punch and Judy with the likes of you, but I'm too old in the tooth for that now.

As if on cue.

The problem with stupidity is it's relentless.

Oh poor fumble, as ever, you wave your banners and then raise the drawbridge when battle is joined. The Party won't be happy ;)

If only we could have the socialist policies and a competent leader.

Ideological purity is more important than winning.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Ideological purity is more important than winning.

This pretty much sums up where Labour are at. Those that are left seem perfectly happy with where the party is going.

For the many - except; blairites, moderates, the elite, the remainers, the hard core brexiteers, anyone who contemplates voting lib dem, jews.

 

[George Hannah]

Ideological purity is more important than winning.

Exactly so, the current Marxist led Labour Party is essentially driven by internal purification, gaining power comes a poor second.

The party is not unelectable, that's just what you choose to believe.

And because you choose to believe that, it's not your party.

And looking at the opinion poll today - he is, from memory, in common with 88% of people

 

[Ban-jani]

They’re now 4th in the latest polls.

Whether you are a socialist, social democrat or centrist who has historically voted Labour, Corbyn needs to go.

CON: 24% (+2)
BREX: 23% (+1)
LDEM: 20% (+1)
LAB: 18% (-2)
GRN: 9% (-1)

How, what used to be a party respected by most, has been reduced to fourth, after the Libs, is a sad indictment
of its current state, if they get rid of Jezza, they'd be back up there, but since the £3 quid a pop fiasco brought in
the bloke, it's not going to be easy. What's surprising is the Tories just above Brexit, a coalition in the event of a GE
would win imo, although polls are not perfect by any stretch.

A party hijacked by purists is straight out of Daily Mail speak. Labour has not been infiltrated, hijacked, bushwhacked or taken over.

If you're looking for entryists, look no further than the New Labour crowd, Blair and Brown convinced the Labour Party that the problem it had with the electorate was the party itself and so they eradicated the old party and set up New Labour, the fresh new third way alternative.

Labour is re-emerging from the tory-lite soup of the third way, while trying to come to terms with the death rattle of Blairism.

It's not complicated, it's not rocket science and this explanation of what is happening has one overwhelming thing going for it, it is the unalloyed truth.

I don't know about - straight out of the Daily Mail as I cannot even remember the last time I read that 'paper' - you obviously do though - or was that some silly/snide attempt at an insult?

My views - and description of the party being hijacked by purists comes exclusively from this forum.

There are numerous long-standing Labour voters on here that are held in contempt by - well purists like you - we are clearly just not 'Left enough'

BTW - how is your purism working out?

Have you seen Labour's standing in the latest YouGov poll?

Read it and weep - and by that I mean the long-standing traditional Labour voters - not the hijackers

Ha ha - heard something today that has made you even more prickly than normal?

Not exactly setting a good example to all the purists troops that will need to go out there and engage - persuasively....
